HEAT a pan on a medium high heat
DIVIDE the mortadella into 4 piles, taking 4 slices and folding each piece on top of the other - making sure that there are air pockets between the slices.
Add oil to the pan. Add mortadella slices and allow to brown and caramelize for 1-2 minutes. Flip over and add cheese slices. Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
COMBINE mayo and mustard together in a bowl and mix to combine.
ADD a smear of the mayo to the bottom bun and top with a spoonful of pesto then place the meat and cheese stack on top.
SLICE it down the middle and serve immediately.
